"No, I don’t piny poker any more,” said a big westerner who catno into an up town clubhouse tho other nig lit with some friends who bud been showing him the town. Somebody had suggested a little game of draw as an appropriate wind up of (ho night’s diversion. ‘‘Why, bow is that?” exclaimed one of iiis friends. ‘‘You used to {day a stiff , game. You haven’t sworn off, have I you?” I “N-no, ” said tho westerner, still j serious. ‘‘l have not sworn off, but ' there is no excitement in tho game for me now. The lust game I played was ; too exciting. ” ' The thrilling story thereof runs as follows: “It was a dozen years ago, when I was a tenderfoot, with tho usual allow ance of freshness and ignorance of fron tier perils. We used to call it brashness, and 1 was certainly brash. I roamed around the country rather for tho better part of a year, with a more or less vague purpose of settling somewhere, but not curing much where. “I was well down toward New Mex ico when there was a rumor of Indian troubles, and I beard that a company of United States troops wore on tho march toward one of tho principal villages where tho redskins were particularly sullen. “1 had been out hunting for a week with a couple of fellows I hud met in one cf the towns, when wo got tho news from a stranger who came into our camp late at night and asked for supper, ilo admitted when wo questioned him—not too closely, for inquisitiveness is at a large discount on the plains, hut casu ally—that he was a scout in tho govern ment employ and was on his way to join this company. < “ ‘There’s likely to bo some pretty warm work, ’ ho said when we asked a little more, ‘for if tho rod devils are not ; on the warpath now they will be in a day or two, and you fellows will do a smart trick if you turn back. ’ “Turning back, however, didn’t seem very attractive to me when there was so much excitement ahead. I promptly re marked that I thought I would go ou with tho scout and offer my services to the captain in command. I told you I was pretty brush at the time, and I had no knowledge of military affairs. My notion was that the captain would ho glad of a recruit, or, at least, that he would make no objection to my going with him. “1 noticed that tho scout looked at me u little curiously, but he evidently thought it was not his business to edu cate tenderfeet, and he only grunted. My two companions were as fresh as I was, and we told the scout we would go ulong if ho had no objection. “ ‘lt’s a free country, and I reckon you can travel wherever you like,’ lie said, with a grin that 1 understood bet ter afterward. "Wo started before dawn and had thirty odd miles to go to strike the trail where the company was expected to camp that night. There were still some ten miles to go, when, as wo were rounding a small hill, the scout suddenly leaped from his horse and called to us to do the same. "lie had semi Indians, and, to cut it short, we camped that night in a place where the scout said that four men could hold out for awhile even against the hundred or so in the party that had sur rounded us. It. was a certainty, though, that wo would all lose our scalps unless help came, for there was no water to ho had, and the Indians know it and made themselves comfortable just out of range of our rifles. “The scout didu’t say much for a long time, but wo could see tiiat ho was thinking as hard as any of uk, and wo were all pretty busy at it There didn’t seem to be anything to suggest, or at least there was nothing that I could think of, excepting to make a dash and try to break through. "Nobody said anything in reply when I spoke of that, and the scout gave mo a look of disgust that made me uugry enough, but shut mo up ull the same. Finally ho said: “ ‘lt’s just this way: These devil 9 have caught us aud they know it. They won’t make a rush, for they know we will shoot, uud an Indian will never risk being shot if he can get his man without Wo can’t fight, our way out There's too many of ’em. And wo can't stay here any longer than we can live without water. ’ , "I asked him if the captaiu wouldn’t make a search for him, uud he said the captain didn't know he was coming. ‘He’s on his way south,’ he said, ‘and the trail he is on is ten miles to the east of us. There’s only cne thing that I see, and that means certain death for some body, I reckon. It’s certain death for all of us though, if something ain’t dona’ 1 asked him what it was, aud he said: •• ‘lf one man can make his way southeast far enough so that the noise of the firing will reach the company, the captain will send a searching party. It all depeuds on how far the man gets before he is killed. If we all ride out, we will all be killed. If one man goes, the others muy stand a chance. ’ “We all looked at one another in si lence for a good while. My blood ran cold at the idea of riding out alone into that pack of fieuds, but I realised that our only chance was for somebody to go, and I knew life was as sweet to the others as it was to me. "Instinctively we began first talking about the way the man who should go should maneuver to best advantage be fore raising the question,who should be the man. It took only a few minutes, though, for the scout to give his advice, which was for one to rule out, waving a white handkerchief. Ho was to keep to the eastward and ride as hard as he dared toward the Indians, looking sharply for the weakest point in their line toward his right. He should then make a dash and ride as hard as possible until it was ail over, firing a:* often a3 he could. “Then we had to decide who should go, and I supposed, of course, that we would draw lots, but one of tho men spoke up unexpectedly: "‘Whoever goes,’ ho said, ‘doesn’t want to start for some hours. The Hcout says just after daybreak i6 the best time. What is the matter of settling this tiling with poker? We can play freeze Gut, and three games will settle it, the winner dropping out each time.” "The proposition caught me. Yon know I used to pride myself on my poker. After a little hesitation the others agreed. The man who proposed it had the cards, and we counted out GOO coffee beaus for chips and began playing on a blanket folded and laid on the ground. "You would think the details ef a game like that would fix themselves in the memory so that I would be able to tell you every hand I held and every bet I made, wouldn’t you? Well, I can’t. In fact, I can’t tell anything about the first game excepting that I was the first man to lose all his chips, k had played often enough for what I thought were high stakes, hut the thought that I was playing for my life rattled me completely, and I really be lieve I bet at random. “Whatever I did I lost, and the man who had proposed the game won out. He was shot in a gambling house three months later—had an extra ace in his sleeve, I believe, or something like that. "The next freeze out, -between threo of us, was a comparatively short one. It did not take more than 20 minutes for the scout to gather in all tho chips, but, short as it. was, I managed to get myself together a little, though 1 was still full of the thought of the value of the stakes —a thing which, I have noticed, always interferes with my play. "When the third game began, how ever, I pulled myself together with a most tremendous effort really be came as cool as I ever had been before at a game of cards. The man 1 played against this time was a young English man whom I had grown to esteem highly in the short time I had known him. His people at home never heard this story, and I hopo they never will. They know that he was killed by tho Indians and thatjio was ou a hunting trip, hut they never heard of his last game of cards nor of the way he rode to his death. "We had each 300 beans, and half a dozen hands were dealt before either of ns got cards to bet on. Then on my deal 1 caught three deuces and made it 50 to play. He locked at his cards and raised me 50, which 1 covered. Ho drew one card and let it lie without looking at it, while ho watched me. "I saw him looking, of course, and I am more glad than I am of almost any thing else 1 ever did in an almost use less life to think that I made the worst piny I ever saw made. I liked the man well, as I said, and some impulse that I couldn’t understand then, and can’t explain now, told me to leave tho thing to chance and to give him a little tho better chance. “I had played with him before, and I was certain that he was drawing to a flush, and somehow I felt that he had filled it. Of course I should have drawn to tho strength of my hand, hut I didn’t. 1 drew ono card only, holding up an eight spot to my deuces, and I shoved all my beans into the pot without look ing at my draw. "ilo gave mo one look, in which I read a perfect appreciation of what I had done, and without a word and without lifting his fifth card he pushed his chips forward. ‘‘Thou my nerve gave out. I grew as white as death, I know, though no one ever told me so, aud I actually could not lift my cards. His nerve never shook, though, apparently, and he turn ed his fifth card over as ho laid it on the blanket. They were all clubs. “He looked at me, aud I swear I saw regret iu his eyes. I toll you lio was u man. Then I managed to turn my hand over. I had drawn the other eight.” The westerner stopped. Ho drained his glass uud then said: "Waiter, bring another bcttlo and bring me some whisky besides. Thisstutf doesn’t go to the right spot” Then, after he had had his drink, he said: "You don’t wchder, do you, that I don’t play poker any more?” “No,” said his hearers, "but finish the story. ” "Ob, there isn’t much more to it. At least that is the end of it, as I think about it. The Englishman shook hands with us all and rode away. We watched him until he fell, uud he must have gone fully three miles. A good many Indians fell before he did, for he was a clever shot. Later in the day the company came to our rescue, and I am glad to say a good many more Indians paid for his death with their own.”—New York Sun. Armor For Millionaires. Four American millionaires have re eeutly had made in Sheffield, England, steel vests and coats which are warrant ed to secure them immunity from death iu ordinary cases of attempts at assassi nation. The armor is of chain mail, so light that when one has worn it a week or two it is no incumbrance to him and strong enough to turn a dagger or sword thrust, though it would not stop a bullet. A number of English states men have been using this armor since the days of the Fenian riots. —Cincin- nati Enquirer. A ROYAL CORNER. How the Sacred, if Lonely, Precinct Was Invaded liy an American. An American attending a wedding re ception in a gn an bouse in London con gratulated bride and bridegroom and passed the usual compliments with the host and hostess. There was a great throng of guests, and he could not linger at the entrance ef the drawing room when there were many behind him anxious to offer their greetings. Perceiving a qliiet corner to the right of the bride where a gentleman and a lady were standing apart from the other guests he went directly to it, unwit tingly coming to a stop between two royal personages. . The American was not aware of the fact that he was face to face with one of the queen’s daughters and had turned his back upon another member of the royal family. He stood quietly looking about, hoping to see some acquaintance in tl]£ company with whom he might have a chat, and soon became uncom fortably conscious that lie was attracting attention and that the hostess and bride were casting uneasy glances in the di rection of the corner where he had taken shelter. While the drawing room was crowded, the company of guests with one consent avoided the secluded corner where he and his two royal companions were stationed. An acquaintance in the background perceived his mistake, and coming with in hailing distance motioned to him. Ho left bis two companions in exclusive occupation of the corner, turning his back upon both as he edged his way through the throng, while everybody stared at him. When he reached tho spot where his acquaintance was wait ing for him, the stage whisper was breathed into his ear: "You have been poaching on royal preserves. You are a privileged charac ter because you are an American, but no Englishman ventures to turn his back upon a prince or a princess. People were staring you out of countenance because they took it for granted that you must be a royal personage, yet they were un able to identify you.” The answer might have been made that every American is a sovereign by the divine right of equality of free cit izenship. but this would have been a meaningless pleasautry in an English drawing room, where social etiquette lias a sanctity superior to loyalty to democratic principle. The American thanked his friend for rescuing him from an embarrassing po sition, and then stood by and watched the corner where royalty was isolated from too close contact with the world of wealth and fashion. No guest approached the royal pair. Their presence was an act of condescen sion to the host and hostess, and they remained on exhibition as the patrons of this social function without having their corner invaded. Everybody was careful not to approach them too close ly, and there was a general sense of re lief when they departed and the neces sity for backing away from them on side tracks was removed.—Youth’s Compan- ItffJ. g PERSONAL ENCOUNTERS. Some Interesting Notre About Duels and the Practice of Dueling. Even in Germany the popularity of the duel is open to some doubt Its ex istence is due not so much to a desire for a combat as of fear what people will say if there is no fight. There have been noted duelists who were always ready for a fray, aud when they entered a drawing room women quailed and hoped it would uot be their husbands or lovers who would be so unlucky as to excite the ire of the men of blood. During the occupation of Paris by the allies there were duels every day, the Frenchmen usually being the challen gers and the victors, as they were very skillful with the small sword. Some times, however, they made a mistake, as when they jeered at an English officer over losing his leg at Waterloo. The jeerer discovered that the loss of his leg did not interfere in the least with the Englishman’s aim. There have been exceptions to the mania for fighting at any price. An English captain, challenged by a Frenchman, had the choice of weapons and chose pistols. The Frenchman de clared he would fight with nothing but the sword, aud interested friends finally compromised on lances, on horseback. The combat naturally attracted much attention. A great crowd witnessed the duek One man received three ugly prods, but finally killed his antagonist. No duelist could ever be made smile over the famous storrof the Englishman and Frenchman who were to fight a duel iu a pitch dark room. Not wishing to kill his man, the Englishman fired up the chimney when the word was given, and, to his surprise, brought down the Frenchman,, who had hidden there. When this story is told in France, it is always the Englishman who is up the chimney. Fighting Fitzgerald was successful in 18 duels before it was discovered that he always wore a coat of mail. Foi years his fame in society had rested on his invariable success as a duelist, and this discovery was his undoing. A cer tain major in fighting him objected when bis sword snapped on a heart thrust aud demanded an investigation. He was afterward hanged in Ireland for murdering a neigh bor. The most tragic duel in England was between Lord Byron, granduncle of the poet, and a kinsman. It was fought in a tavern room by the light of one tallow candle. Lord Byrou was tried for mur der, but got off on manslaughter, from the penalties of which he escaped be cause he was a peer of the realm. This safeguard of peers was done away with only daring die present reign.—Gbicagr News.
